• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme, free, confidential support 24/7 including mental health sessions
• Early access to wages, great discounts & money coaching through Stream
• Long service awards and celebrations
• Free, delicious Megan’s food & drinks on every shift
• Plus all the usual standard stuff like pension contributions & holiday

Grow With Us

• Ongoing training and real progression opportunities. Whether you want to become a Supervisor, move into management or simply become brilliant at what you do, we’ll back you
• Get involved in new openings as we grow
• Opportunities to move between our neighbourhood restaurants and build your career across the group
• Regular menu training and tastings so you really know what you’re serving

Come for the kebab, stay for the career.

What You'll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of your section, making sure it’s prepped, stocked, organised and ready to smash every service
• Cooking and plating our dishes to Megan’s recipes and specs, delivering brilliant quality and consistency every time
• Working with pace when the checks are flying, managing your section effectively and communicating with the wider kitchen to keep service moving
• Looking after stock on your section, following portion controls, rotation and storage standards and helping to keep waste under control

• Supporting Commis Chefs and newer team members, sharing your knowledge and helping them build their confidence and kitchen skills
• Following our food safety, allergen, hygiene and health & safety standards every shift, making sure anything that isn’t right is spotted and dealt with quickly
